Did you get an e-book reader for Christmas this year? Sales were high, and whether you want to read e-books on a Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, iPad or even your plain old laptop, we can point you to some good resources for free e-books.

Through the UGA Libraries

E-books available through NetLibrary appear in the GIL catalog and are only readable on the web; they cannot be downloaded in an e-book format.

E-Books available through Springerlink also appear in the GIL catalog; they can be downloaded as .pdf files and read on some readers.

A number of Galileo databases provide access to digital books; see the UGA Libraries’ guide to them here. Formats will vary, but some can be downloaded and sent to e-book readers.

Through the Athens Public Library

The public library does not currently have e-books for download, but they have a guide with some good tips about the trustworthiness of e-book sites and notes on e-book formats.
